Here is an 18 metre tall 200 year-old listed wind mill, not very far from the sea. Wind driven rain created major problems, resulting in ongoing water leaks. The building has been sympathetically waterproofed and thermally insulated with lime plasters only, using breathable heritage-friendly materials only. 

Here is an alternative restoration option to facades damaged by dampness, salts and acid rain. The damaged bricks or stones can be the repaired or rebuilt with Roman lime plasters.

Here are some famous international building / heritage monuments which have all been renovated with MGN plasters. 

The Salt Warehouses of Venice (Magazzini del Sale) date back to the beginning of the 15th century. They were built to store a very precious trade commodity: salt. Situated across 9 large halls, the salt warehouse could hold up to 4500 tons of salts.

As a result of its location (Venice) and its use (a salt storage) it is probably the most salty building fabric in the world. The only lime plaster capable of withstanding such an extremely salty environment is the Rinzaffo MGN Roman salt-resistant base coat. This plaster is also gentle to the historic fabric – when it reaches its end of its life, it comes off gently without damaging the underlying historic (in this case the nearly 600-year old) wall fabric.

Here is a 200 year-old listed building in a valley, with very high water table and thick stone walls. It has been fully refurbished and thermally insulated with the MGN breathable lime insulation system. 

Here is an application example of the Betoncino Consolidante MGN structural reinforcement mortar used on an old barn with damaged, weakened masonry.
